Traxis Energy is different, but why..?
There is a lot of innovation, incubation, trials and pilots out there and it is difficult to decide what to focus on. So why should you consider Traxis Energy?
There are several reasons, explained below, but above all it is because we are focusing on commercialisation and the delivery of a very valuable market. A market that is enabled by generating mass market consumer demand.
The need for Traxis Energy
-
Maximising rooftop solar, the electrification of heating and the electrification of transport are key strategies for reducing reliance on oil and gas imports and our energy security. Uniquely, the success of these strategies depend on consumers adopting them. However, consumers are put off by the complexity, cost and immature state of the market. But this market is never going to scale until all 3 elements are addressed holistically - hence Traxis Energy.
-
The current market is characterised by too many individual solutions with no joined up system thinking. What consumers need are turn-key solutions combining value chains to generate affordability.
-
Electrification is driving up peak loads requiring expensive, disruptive and time consuming grid strengthening delaying new projects and/or making them uneconomic. Flexibility can reduce these market barriers. Traxis Energy is about finding commercial solutions to fully and sustainably monetise local flexibility.
Electrification of heating and transport and its impact on properties is central to tackling energy security and NetZero but is currently too costly and complex for consumers, is putting on a growing strain on distribution networks and is not yet commercially viable at national scale.
Across Europe the speed of implementation is slower than desired and needed. Traxis Group believes this is more a commercial issue than a regulatory or technical one and has been established to tackle this issue.
Why engage with Traxis Energy?
-
Collaboration is essential to building this market: Traxis Energy will help you to plan, identify and co-develop commercial business propositions. In doing so we help decision makers to overcome barriers and manage risk profiles.
-
Collaboration can be difficult, especially if capabilities are misaligned. Traxis Energy will help you identify the best partners to work with and to develop these relationships.
-
Funding is at the heart of all projects: without it even the best ideas go nowhere. Traxis Energy will help you build impact investment opportunities through multiple replicable local implementations
What is needed are simple turnkey solutions, a bit like a hybrid car where the technology happens in the background, works well and gives a better user experience. In other words, a whole product experience from buying right through to living with the system. However, distributed energy is a complex new way to handle electricity. Many end-users and property developers do not understand how to undertake it, nor how to make it affordable.
No one business is yet able to deliver this on their own - it needs Enterprise Business Programmes to enact it effectively, which Traxis Energy can help you deliver.
